A well-lived life doesn’t happen by accident – it’s designed. From how we move, to what we eat, to the spaces we escape to, wellness is shaped by the brands, places, and experiences we choose.
This conversation brings together leaders in wellness, hospitality, and design to explore the space where design and wellness intersect. Life Time’s Chief Creative Officer, Nic Berglund, will lead a panel on how brand design can inspire movement and create spaces that help people feel their best. With elite professionals joining from the luxury hospitality market, to designers leading the creative charge to enhance spaces dedicated to personal wellness, we’ll explore how design plays a key role in overall well-being.
